In Christ Alone

I often feel like I'm teetering on the edge of "losing control". I get worried about something that may or may not happen on Tuesday, or next week, or 2 months from now, or 5 years from now.

Life is not certain. Things that you assume are going to happen may not come to fruition. I do not adapt well to change. I need things to be constant, and that is not something that can always be. Consistency is not guaranteed, in fact it rarely happens.

In church this morning we were singing in worship and the lyrics "My Savior loves, My Savior lives, My Savior's always there for me, My God He was, My God He is, My God He's always gonna be". overwhelmed me. I have ONE constant in my life. I have one sure thing. No matter where I'm living, how much money we have, how many children, no matter what state of health, or what I'm doing, God IS. He is there and He is my constant.

Worship was especially amazing this morning, and I fell in love with the song "In Christ Alone" all over again. I hadn't really listened to the lyrics in their full capacity in a long time. I'd like to share them with you...

Oh girl, I know we talked about this earlier, but you know I needed this blog! "No power of hell, no scheme of man, can ever pluck me from his hand.." - so true! He IS our one constant, I love you so much and am so grateful for the blessing that you are in my life :)

I LOVE that song and it makes me cry everytime I hear it.GOd is our strength and we must give all our worries to Him.It is not an easy thing to do especially with children. I have to remind myself that my boys are NOT my boys they are His. So I do the same with my problems as well - they are HIs to take care of and to guide me as needed :)LOVE you sweet Jen,Kim
